I just picked this little Carpinitis Vontehillo from Ira today. He's about 2.25 -2.5 inches. Great spangling at this size. The colors are outrageous and these pics drown out most of the greenish-blue on him. You were right Ira, lots of energy. He was jumping out of the water while he was in the bag on the way home.

I must say he has a hell of a collection of quality fish in his possession. Nothing you'd ever see at your lfs. Anyway thanx again Ira. I appreciate you taking the time to talk to me about your stock. I will definitely hit you up again.

Thanx. Believe me I know what you mean. I have a entry level DSLR and this is the best I could get. Lol. Took over 50 pics to get these 5 decent ones. Doesnt help that there is a forest of hiding spots where he likes to hang out.

Terrific little guy! Carps are great fish.

"Nothing you'd ever see at your lfs." Not exactly, because they're at my lfs, but I know that's only because both Ira and my lfs are supplied by the same guy.

Take lots of photos. It's hard to catch the color just right on these sorts of spangled fish.

We'll these are nothing I usually see at my lfs. Everyone around here sells nothing but flowerhorns. One store even has short bodied GT's labeled as Red Tail Orandas so naturally I wouldnt believe a word they tell me. Then you have the pet conglomerates like petco and petsmart that sell very common cichlids, nothing wrong with common, I have a GT and JD, but nothing out of the ordinary. Its nice to be able to get fish thats not normally available. Any collection points are a plus.
